Jack caps

Abstract

An insert attachment for covering a jack of cable cord, the insert attachment including a housing with a rear and front portion wherein the front portion diameter is greater than the rear portion diameter. The insert attachment may include a protective sleeve. The insert attachment may further include inner and outer coating layers on the surface of the housing with various density or hardness.

What we claim is: 
     
       1. A cap for covering a jack of a cable cord, the cap comprising:
 a hollow housing comprising: 
 a base section having a first diameter configured for insertion of the jack, a tapered middle section, and a tip section having a second diameter being smaller than the first diameter; and 
 a plurality of ribs extending longitudinally along a length of an outer surface of the tapered middle section and affixed thereto; 
 wherein the housing includes an inner surface formed of a first material and an outer surface formed of a second material; 
 wherein the inner surface and the outer surface form a dual density plastic; 
 wherein the first material is softer than the second material, and the first material includes a plurality of rings configured to provide tightness for the jack; and 
 wherein the base section includes a plurality of steps therein. 
 
     
     
       2. The cap of  claim 1 , wherein the tapered middle section further includes at least one non-tapered portion. 
     
     
       3. The cap of  claim 2 , wherein the tapered middle section further includes a tapered portion, a first non-tapered portion and a second non-tapered portion. 
     
     
       4. The cap of  claim 3 , wherein the first non-tapered portion is on one end of the tapered portion, and the second non-tapered portion is on an end opposite the first non-tapered portion. 
     
     
       5. The cap of  claim 4 , wherein a diameter of decreases from the base section to the tip section. 
     
     
       6. The cap of  claim 1 , wherein the base section includes an 0-ring attachment. 
     
     
       7. The cap of  claim 6 , wherein the base portion section, the middle section and the tip section are integrally formed together. 
     
     
       8. The cap of  claim 7 , wherein a contour of the inner surface is substantially identical to a contour of the outer surface. 
     
     
       9. The cap of  claim 8 , wherein the material of the outer surface is more dense than the material of the inner surface.
